Lamb walks.

Runners 1st & 3rd with Goldy at the plate and nobody out.

 

[death2redemptions]

And once again Goldy fails to do anything in a gift wrapped run scoring situation.

0-for-4 with 2 strikeouts

 

[death2redemptions]

And Peralta ALSO fails to do anything in a gift wrapped run scoring situation.

Let's hope 3 runs are enough for Ziegler

 

[death2redemptions]

What a terrible inning. All 3 batters get infield pops with runners 1st & 3rd and nobody out.

 

[death2redemptions]

See, this is why failing to score that 4th run becomes huge.

Ziegler allows the first two runners to reach and one swing of the bat can now tie the game and you know how awful this team is at trying to win in extra innings.

 

[death2redemptions]

Take out Ziegler, bring in the Sheriff!

 

[death2redemptions]

Double play to save the day! Still a runner at 3rd with 2 outs.

 

[death2redemptions]

D-BACKS WIN! D-BACKS WIN!

12-12 record. We are a .500 team again.

I think Brandon Webb brought us good luck, they need him announcing everyday!

 

[death2redemptions]

de la Rosa has a better ERA than our top 3 pitchers (Greinke/Miller/Corbin)...who would have thunk it?

 

[death2redemptions]

de la Rosa also leads the team in wins.

I didn't get MLB TV this year so can't watch my guy Chafin but how has he been looking? Still basically a 2 pitch fastball, slider pitcher?

He's looked amazing. It's a crying shame that they don't use him as our 7th or 8th inning guy. They've reserved him as the 1 out guy or as the guy to use in the earlier innings when one of our starters gets destroyed.

 

[Berkey33]

good to hear

 

[death2redemptions]

D-Backs may be in 3rd with a 12-12 record but they are only 0.5 game back from first place!

Dodgers 12-11
Giants 12-11
DBacks 12-12
Rockies 9-12
Padres 7-15

This upcoming series against the Rockies is one that we just have to win.

 

[death2redemptions]

Now that I know O'Brien is incapable of being a backup catcher I think now might be the time to try and shop him to an AL team and see if we can get anything significant. I love his power potential but his defense in the outfield is dreadful so I believe he is destined to become a DH. At least float the idea while he is racking in the minor leagues.

 

[death2redemptions]

Well, the Giants have been taken care of, down 12-0 to the Mets in the 3rd. Yoenis hit a grand slam.

Goldy walks *shocker* with 2 outs.

 

[death2redemptions]

Goldy stole 2nd base

 

[death2redemptions]

And....nothing happens.
